In addition to intellectual property, the Company added highly skilled SOFC technology personnel, physical assets including pilot testing and production facilities, a profitable thermoelectric generator product line with a strong management team, and $55.8m in cash.
Global's financial results have been reported in FuelCell Energy's financial reporting beginning on November 3, 2003. FuelCell Energy's financial data prior to the acquisition has not been restated to include Global's financial data. The acquisition has been recorded under the purchase method of accounting.
